Self-Introduction

Hello! My name is Cameron Mitchell and I am a freshman this year at EMU. My current major, Special Education, doesn't require much in terms of literary practice, but I wouldn't discount myself as an enthusiast of literature. I also am a large fan of western philosophy, so I am attracted to novels such as The Stranger by Albert Camus, which has underlying existentialist/absurdist themes. Dystopian novels such as A Brave New World, A Handmaiden's Tale, and 1984 are also of interest to me. As for background on myself, I spent my very early childhood in Overijse, Belgium, although I was born in California. I then moved to Clarkston, Michigan and have spent most of my life there. I am very happy with my current residence in Ypsilanti and I am eager to continue my education here. All of my classes so far seem quite interesting, so I quite excited for this creative writing class and all that it brings.
